That spindle is hung like a horse. Checked the wobble or runout yet?
Judging by the label on the right, someone gave it a Big Al Rebuild at
some point in the past.

Dayum! What took that chunk out of the t-slots just on the other side
of the center cutout? Did someone crank a clamp down with a 3/4"
impact or stick a large diameter drill bit in a piece which came
loose? That's a couple/three inches of hole there, innit?

Maybe one of those MT5 drills got caught in the material.

This press is enormous. Probably obsolete and superseded by CMC
milling.
